Fosamax or Exercise?

It takes time. I tired PT a couple of times but didn't find one who understood, frankly. I actually spent time in bed where the pain was better. I walked every day and did Quigongs that move breath up my spine. But healing happens naturally. It can be a long, slow, painful process though and I will never be able to lift much weight or open most windows.

Hi @windyshores, When you walk, do you walk on the windy shore? I never did any Quigongs. Could you share your experience on Quigongs ? Any doctor ever explained to you about you spine fractures?

I understand how some PTs are. My husband had a twisted shoulder that was so painful. Doc gave him pain killer. Made him dizzy. The PT put him on a machine to stretch his neck muscles up and down so forcefully that it hurt even more. Eventually he relied on massage to recover.
